 Not what I expected; Pay attention to product details December 23, 2008
This memory book is much smaller than I was anticipating. I was disappointed, but it's my fault for failing to read the entire product details. This book is about the size of an index card and is spiral bound. The photo of the item gives the impression that the book is leather-bound. Although the book was created as a gift for grandparents, the size of the text is too small for senior citizens to read comfortably. Additionally, they did not allow enouh space for grandparents to write detailed memories. Some of the questions are redundant; they repeat some questions but rephrase them a little diffrently. I still think my grandparents will appreciate the journal, but I really wish I would have chosen a diffrent, larger memory book.
Smaller than expected December 3, 2008
(review written by Nick's wife) I came across these memory books in a parenting magazine and loved the idea of having my children's grandparents fill them out. I even bought some for my grandparents to fill out for me.
After searching through everything Amazon has to offer, I ended up purchasing a variety of books. I bought Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I really didn't think they would all be the same with a different cover page as they are. I was really disappointed in the size of the books. They are 4" x 5.5" with a 1" spiral binding. Each is about 1" thick. It is laid out for a full calendar year - each day having a different question or memory for the person do write about. The pages have a question at the top and are blank (no lines) below.
The other books I decided to purchase are: A Grandparent's Legacy and Memories for My Grandchild. A Grandparent's Legacy is laid out month-by-month with topics to discuss. The book measures 8" x 5" with a nice covered spiral binding and is about .75" thick. Each page has topics to discuss and lines for writing. Memories for My Grandchild has the most flexible layout - meaning there is no guide for filling things out at a certain time. It is also the largest book, measuring about 8" x 10" and just less than 1" thick. It has a covered spiral binding. This is the only book with a pocket in the back to drop in any special items and a pull-out page to fill in the family tree. The pages in this book are lined as well.
The books all cover similar questions and memories. I haven't gone page-by-page to compare, but have been pleased with what I've seen so far. Since the books are so similar, I'm basing my overall opinion on the appearance. My favorite would have to be A Grandparent's Legacy.
 Absolutely wonderful gift for grandmother! June 24, 2008
This is a wonderful gift to give a new or current grandmother, or even as a gift to a grandchild (after adding to it of course). Basically, this book contains many questions and pages for Grandma to answer and pass down to her grandkids. It's something the grandkids can read whenever and get a great understanding of the person their grandmother is. It might seem a little morbid at first, but having something written down is a great suppliment to all the great times the child will have with his grandmother. Please note, however, that in order to get hundreds of memories into one small spiral bound paperback book, it is not as substantial and sturdy as some of the other memory books. Though I think it is a good trade-off.
A Grandma's Dream June 11, 2008
This is one of the best little books that I've seen in a long time. I thought it was larger judging from the picture, but after examining it closer, it's the perfect size. I'm having such fun recalling long past memories to share with my grandchildren. I bought 2 books, one for my husband too, he'll have to give his own review, he does think they're great little books. I hope the grandchildren will treasure them, I wish there had been something like this for me from my grandparents, I never had the pleasure of knowing them, I feel it's such a loss.
Great way to share with your grandkids June 1, 2008
I started by buying these books for my parents to fill out for me. I loved reading their responses. I learned many things about my parents that I didn't know before. It also sparked conversations with them about additional stories.
Now that I have children, I'm buying these books for me and (the grandparent ones) for my parents to fill out for them. And buying them as gifts for new parents.
Regarding the comments that there isn't a lot of room to write...The pages are small, but there are only a few pages that you would get that lengthy on your stories. You can always attach in an additional sheet of paper to continue your story.
